patent infringement lawsuit against Us or any of Our licensees.

THE CONTRIBUTION IS PROVIDED "AS IS". MORE PARTICULARLY, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE

OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.

 
# 6. APPROXIMATION OF DISCLAIMER AND DAMAGE WAIVER

IF THE DISCLAIMER AND DAMAGE WAIVER MENTIONED IN SECTION 4 AND SECTION 5 CANNOT

conditions.

7.2 In the event of a termination of this Agreement Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

after the termination of this Agreement.

Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.

maximum extent possible under law.
